institutions. It is the responsibility of the client to discuss
expectations of after hours care with the counselor upon intake, so that if
necessary an appropriate referral can be made. In the event of an
emergency, when a client is fearing harm to himself/herself or others, he/she
should call the 24 hour crisis hotline in the county in which they live or if
necessary go to the nearest hospital emergency room. Your counselor will
contact you as soon as he or she is made aware of the crisis
situation.
